Water kefir is light, fizzy, and full of nutritional benefits. The KEFIR grains are made from bacteria and yeasts. The culture is known as a scoby (symbiotic relationship between yeast and bacteria) that feeds on natural sugar and produces a low sugar probiotic drink. The Kefir fermentation cycle is much shorter than Kombucha, just three days, so there is a different spectrum of probiotics present in the product as opposed to Kombucha.

Kefir alkalizes the system and provides the gut with beneficial bacteria. These traits are the reason kefir is widely used to treat many ailments such as IBS, Chrons disease, digestive disorders, coeliac and acid reflux.
